They are treated as a forgery by Wolfgang Speyer (Die literarische Fälschung im heidnischen und christlichen Altertum. Munich, 1971, p. 323, n.3), citing M. Schanz, C. Hosius, and G. Krüger, ‘Geschichte der römischen Litteratur’, vol. ii (1935, 4th ed.), p. 326, but still seem to taken seriously in some quarters. Obviously rare.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_5547687" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record. </a></span></span></p>
